VISION THERAPY: FAST FACTS

A non-surgical, evidence-based treatment that builds 17 visual skills the brain uses to read, focus, track, and team the eyes.

Children with reading, focus, or learning difficulties; patients of any age with strabismus, amblyopia, or convergence insufficiency; adults with eye strain, double vision, or post-concussion visual symptoms; athletes building visual performance.

A unit of vision therapy at Lumen Vision is 10 weeks. Most patients complete 1–2 units, with a 2–3 month break between.

30 minutes in-office per week plus about 20 minutes of home therapy per day.

Roughly $1,500–$3,500 per unit, depending on insurance. Most medical insurance carriers cover at least pre-testing and post-testing; many cover the unit itself when medically necessary.

Decades of randomized clinical trials. Vision therapy outperforms patching for amblyopia in many cases and is the standard of care for symptomatic convergence insufficiency.

Dr. Ryan Capouch, FOVDR — fellowship-trained developmental optometrist and 2023 ND Young Optometrist of the Year. Fewer than 1% of optometrists nationwide hold the FOVDR fellowship. He and his vision therapists plan and execute every vision therapy treatment strategy.

A vision therapy evaluation. We do that in three visits across about 2.5 hours total, often combined into one day for out-of-town patients.
